Lambourne Stretch Moleskin Pants - Flat Front (For Men)

I have had around a half dozen pairs of these trousers through the last decade and currently with a new pair made in Poland, while only worn a few weeks, is already splitting a seam in the crotch area. I must also report that I'm disappointed to find that they've eliminated a left rear pocket and that overall the build is perhaps less involved and ostensibly cheaper. The moleskin fabric seems the same as before and is nice yet I'll have to find out in the next few months if this too has gone downhill in quality.

I've worn English moleskin pants and breeks for decades - Barbour and Christopher Dawes. Cotton moleskin always shrinks, like jeans - not Lambourne. Had to reorder a size down (true size)to get the right fit. Probably due to the manufacturer's directions not to tumble dry. Otherwise a very nice moleskin trouser. I'd buy them again.

they look good enough for otaher than formal occasions. They're warm and hold their shape

I bought a pair of Lambourne moleskins four years ago and they are my favorite winter pants. I just received this second pair. The first were made in England, and they seem a bit better made (three point fastening system vs. two point, for instance). But the fabric is the same, there are more colors, and I look forward to many happy years with them.

Excellent moleskin fabric, much sturdier than Orvis' version, for example. Unhemmed means I got them finished a little short for wearing with snow boots and/or fishing waders. Be aware they run a little small in the waist — if you're a 36 on a good day and a 38 after a long night, you might want to size up.

Having bought several pair of these trousers before, I was surprised and disappointed at how the manufacturer has cheapened their product. In addition to the points mentioned above, the selvedge which used to be lined is now only stitched.

I was surprised that there was only one rear pocket (left) and no watch pocket. I had to change my habits. The material is very soft and comfortable and suitable to my life in snowy fields and meadows but still they dont look like work clothes and are suitable when I go to town. To get the correct length, I had them finished by a seamstress who also added buttons for braces.

[...] & good value for the product

I've always been a big fan of moleskins, but never liked to pay the high prices that we have to here in the States. I received a brown pair from my wife for Christmas and liked them so much I ordered the blue pair, too, at a price that is right. I am use to a heavier moleskin and these are lite, but just as warm and comfortable. If you like a pant that doesn't wrinkle, travels well and you like to dress up but still kept that rugged, manly look, these are the pants for you.

I immediately noticed the shallow front pockets, but when I went to put my wallet in my left hip pocket, it was a swoosh---no pocket there. I had encountered this on Barbour's moleskins, so I am beginning to figure out who makes theirs. Color blue is brighter than navy and a bit odd, but not offensive. Overall they seem fairly trim tailored and I spose the stretchiness will show up after being washed. OK pants but they really need a 4th pocket.
